Richmond influences 2014 Emmy nominations

LOS ANGELES – The 2014 Emmy nominations were announced Thursday, and the competition is going to be fierce.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has made some changes to its categories, splitting the outstanding movie or miniseries category into two and increasing the number of nominees allowed in the outstanding comedy and outstanding drama categories to seven, among other tweaks.

But for this year’s show, both the drama and comedy categories are boasting a total of six nominees, including some welcome competitors like “Game of Thrones” and “True Detective.”
